I detected a tendency to play too much "borrow" or break when putting. I have been consciously reading a putt and then reducing the break I play. It worked really well the past two rounds. Will it last? We shall see.

There is some science between missing on the high or low side on a putt. Missing on the low side is a complete miss. The ball has no chance to go in. But missing on the high side still gives the ball a chance.

The second part of this, and I have explained this to my nephew numerous times, is that when you miss on the high side, the ball will curl around and sometimes actually get closer to the hole as it rolls out past the hole. If you miss on the low side, every inch the ball rolls takes it a bit farther away from the hole.

If I'm consistently missing on the high side, it usually means I'm consistently two-putting. If I'm missing on the low side, I'm probably taking some three putts.
